WWRY Toronto: 5 More Weeks!

5 More Weeks of WE WILL ROCK YOU

EXTENDED THROUGH MAY 3, 2009

David Mirvish has announced that Toronto's longest-running musical, WE WILL ROCK YOU, will run even further! The all-Canadian, Dora Award-winning musical production will extend its run at the Panasonic Theatre through May 3.

"WE WILL ROCK YOU continues to delight and surprise," David Mirvish said. "When I first saw the show in London, I knew that Toronto audiences were going to love it, but that they would still be loving it - and still be coming back to see it again and again - after 93 weeks was something I never would have imagined possible. Through good times and bad, this is a production Toronto has taken straight to its heart."

WE WILL ROCK YOU, a new musical based on the songs of Queen, now in its 32 sensational week at the Panasonic Theatre, moved here after playing 61 weeks at the Canon Theatre.

The all-Canadian cast features Yvan Pedneault as Galileo, Erica Peck as Scaramouche (Breanne Arrigo assumes the role as of March 8 through May 3) , Alana Bridgewater (Menopause Out Loud!) as the Killer Queen, Camilla Scott (Mamma Mia!, Crazy For You) as Khashoggi, Jack Langedijk (Kiss of The Spiderwoman, A Streetcar Named Desire) as Pop, Sterling Jarvis (Disney's The Lion King) as Duff and Valerie Stanois as Oz.

Dora Award-winner for Best Musical, the Canadian production of WE WILL ROCK YOU has been an audience favourite, receiving standing ovations at each and every performance. Originally scheduled to play seven weeks, the show was quickly extended again and again. WE WILL ROCK YOU played 61 weeks at the Canon Theatre, was seen by more than 700,000 people, generated an estimated economic spin-off to the city of $180 million and provided employment to more than 300 Canadian artists, technicians and theatre support staff.
